I'm a little surprised to hear your view on this issue Lamboguy, ... but I do agree that prior administrations are just as guilty, but that's simply a case of "Passing the Baton". No need to debate all of this again and again, especially with Shunty, he enjoys reading our board while posting infrequently, it is I and several others that you need to confront. We've posted way more than enough Conclusive News and Information regarding this issue right here on this board, and we need not look any further than the State of the Economy and how our Constitution is under attack, as more than half of the country is upset and disgusted over many of the issues Obama and his bosses, (Corporatism) have created and imposed on us and the rest of the World. Its not all Obama and its not all about America, ... its Corporate America and its widespread International elements. "The Criminal activity that's taking place under this administration (and others of course), ... are hard to overlook". It has nothing to do with planes and buildings, or plague, disease and wars abroad, nothing to do with anything from the OUTSIDE, but VERY much to do WITHIN. The War is here "At Home", We are 2 to 300-million Strong and Heavily Armed" and they dont like it! Its racial, its poor, its rich, its one side or the other, its financial, its medical, its about Freedom and our Constitution, its about old, its about young, its about Woman and Men .. and its been ongoing since the 60s if not the early 1900 hundreds, the events that are currently developing under this particular administration are bringing all it to a head, ... "Close To Home". I respect you, ... your view and your opinions but I STRONGLY disagree with you on this issue, and I'm not here to change your mind or to heavily debate the issue, or even your way of thinking, ... everyone has to think and do what's right for themselves. In my opinion, ... Tyranny is looking at us Directly into the Eye's and yet, some fail to see the BIG-PICTURE, and this is not directed at you, its just a broad statement. I want to Wish you and EVERYONE a "Happy Thanksgiving".

Obama's Orwellian Thanksgiving ................................................................................................................ by Joel B. Pollak 28 Nov 2013 breitbart.com President Barack Obama and outgoing New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg have both tried to nudge their way into America’s Thanksgiving (or Thanksgivukkah) dinners, with talking points about Obamacare and gun control, respectively. Not only is introducing contentious political issues into a family holiday a recipe for unhappiness, but it also reflects the disturbing Orwellian ambitions of Obama’s big-government liberalism. The idea that politics must be brought into every family discussion and every personal relationship has been a hallmark of Obama’s style since the 2008 campaign, when he told his supporters to confront their neighbors, to get “ in their face.” During the debate over Obamacare in 2009-10, the White House did the same--and provided an email address, flag@whitehouse.gov, to which people could report “lies” among their friends. One of those “ lies” was that people could lose their insurance coverage due to the new law--a “lie” that has since proven true for millions of Americans. Clearly, Obama’s talking points have a short shelf life. Yet he remains undeterred, as are many of his followers, in imposing politics on intimacy. In 2009, supporters of Obamacare even encouraged each other to withhold sex from partners who did not support passage of the troubled law. The great insight of *George Orwell’s novel of totalitarianism, Nineteen Eighty-Four,* was not that it exposed the brainwashing necessary for that system to function. That had been done already in *Arthur Koestler’s Darkness at Noon,* a chilling insight into the way that communism convinced its victims to confess to crimes they had not committed, to embrace and even look forward to their deaths as a form of love for the party’s ideals. Orwell extended Koestler’s theme in Nineteen Eighty-Four with the invention of the propaganda language “Newspeak,” and the torture scenes in Room 101. Yet his unique contribution was to show that totalitarianism was not just focused on repressing the individual, but on interfering with the most intimate relationships between people. It is necessary, Orwell explained, to destroy such intimacy in order for Big Brother to rule. That is the Orwellian world of nanny-state liberals like Obama and Bloomberg--the latter even using children’s placemats to sell his anti-gun ideology. It is worth remembering that Thanksgiving was founded as a celebration of freedom by those who had escaped government repression. They recognized that the bounty of the New World went hand-in-hand with faith and liberty--something our present would-be masters have forgotten.
